| Abstract (English): | This article describes a collaboration between an urban school board and a faculty of education aimed at supporting Indigenous youth transitions to post-secondary education. Drawing upon strengths-based approaches including wise practices, we offer a model for how postsecondary transition events can illuminate pathways for young people to see that they belong in higher education. We highlight the importance of connecting with Elders, hearing from successful Indigenous speakers, and seeing campus. The theme of our event reiterates to Indigenous youth that they have a story and that they can take the next steps to a new beginning in post-secondary education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (French): | Cet article décrit une collaboration entre une autorité scolaire en milieu urbain et une faculté d'éducation visant à soutenir la transition des jeunes autochtones vers l'enseignement postsecondaire. Puisant dans des approches fondées sur les forces, y compris les pratiques sages, nous offrons un modèle de la façon dont les événements liés à la transition vers l'enseignement postsecondaire peuvent éclairer les passerelles permettant aux jeunes de voir qu'ils ont leur place dans l'enseignement supérieur. Nous soulignons l'importance d'établir des liens avec les aînés, d'écouter des conférenciers autochtones qui ont réussi et de visiter le campus. Le thème de notre événement rappelle aux jeunes autochtones qu'ils ont une histoire et qu'ils peuvent franchir les prochaines étapes vers un nouveau départ dans l'enseignement postsecondaire.
